Welcome to R2R! You’re stepping into a whole new world with saltwater! Fluval tanks are a good all in one I started with a Evo 13.5. In the long run though i ended up modifying the tank with a different pump, lighting setup and a custom refugium. Looking back I wish I looked at some of the other tanks brands I’ve broken some of them up into different price points... it’s not a comprehensive list by any means but a start. Hoping it should give you some good ideas.
Higher end: Nano Red Sea or Waterbox
Mid range: JBJ, Fiji,
Low end: Fluval, Biocube
I think you’ll find as you grow in the saltwater hobby you want more control over the environment when it comes to flow, lighting nutrient/chemistry control. It helps to have a tank that will allows for these types of customizations.
There is a great supreme guide written by
@revhtree here that is helpful with planning a new tank. This community is awesome and there is so much collective knowledge so it there is something you can’t find ask away
. Looking forward to seeing where your reef journey takes you!
